I believe my root canal is going bad, and my wisdom teeth happen to be growing out as well (it has barely pierced the surface of my gum but not too visibly). I was wondering if it was possible to pull out the root canal 2nd (back, bottom) molar and have the wisdom tooth come into its place without issues? My dentist said my wisdom teeth are also growing at an angle and is pushing against my 2nd molars.
But since the root canal is going bad/infected, would pulling it out and then having the wisdom tooth replace its spot make the wisdom tooth infected later, or would this cause any bite issues? Is this feasible, and how quickly should I get this done since my wisdom teeth seem to almost be emerging from the gum already?
I’m feeling a little bit of discomfort in the gum area where the wisdom teeth are coming out right now + they’re crowding. My appointment is schedule in one week, so I’m also unsure if the wisdom tooth will grow enough to become a problem by then.
Thanks!
